I recommend using good quality slicon muffin tins or use good quality non stick muffin tins so the chances of muffins sticking to the muffin tin are much lesser.

You may also use silicon liners in your muffin tin to help prevent the muffins sticking to the pan.

So here is how you can make this easy, cheesy breakfast egg bite muffins in a muffin pan!

How to make egg and cheese muffins for breakfast?

egg and cheese breakfast muffins

We use the following ingredients to make easy, delicious and cheesy breakfast egg bite muffins from scratch at home.

ingredients to make egg and cheese muffins

eggs 6 large at room temperature

mozzarella cheese shredded 1 cup

salt adjust to taste (I only used about ¼ teaspoon)

garlic powder ½ teaspoon

onion powder ½ teaspoon

black pepper powder ¼ teaspoon (optional)

step by step instructions

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk the eggs very well.

Add salt, garlic powder, onion powder and also black pepper powder (if using) and mix well to combine with the egg mixture evenly.

Add the shredded cheese also to the egg mixture, and mix well to combine.

To bake the egg bite muffins

Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.

To bake the egg muffins, make sure to use non stick muffin pan or use a silicon muffin pan.

I use a silicon muffin pan which is extremely easy to use, as the muffins won’t stick to the pan and it’s also easy to pull out the muffins once it’s baked.

Add the prepared egg mixture to the moulds in the muffin pan, fill only about half of the moulds with the egg cheese mixture.

Because the egg muffins will rise as they bake, so you only need to fill about half of the moulds.

Once ready, place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown in color and the inside is completely set and cooked.

Enjoy the simple and delicious, cheesy egg bites or muffins for a quick grab and go breakfast or you can also enjoy these as a mid morning snack or evening snack or sides!

How to store and reheat breakfast egg bites?

The best way to enjoy these delicious, cheesy muffins or egg bites is to enjoy them while they are freshly prepared and slightly warm.

As you keep them, these egg muffins may slightly collapse (though they rose pretty well for me & didn’t collapse much either).

This is because they are made without any flour & they are made without any rising agents like baking powder or baking soda.

The eggs in the muffins are what that help them to rise while we bake them, and as we keep them for more time, they may not hold up well.

If you keep this outside in the room temperature for more than few hours, it’s a good idea to refrigerate them in proper air tight containers so they stay fresh for longer time.

You may store this in the refrigerator for a couple of days if you store them properly.

If you want to store these for longer, you may freeze the egg bites or muffins in freezer safe containers so they stay fresh for even more longer time.

To reheat the egg bites which were stored in the refrigerator, you can transfer them to microwave safe plates and heat for about 40 to 50 seconds time.

If you are freezing the egg & cheese breakfast muffins, you will need to heat them for little more time so they can be served warm as you need.
